Climbing out of homelessness is the pursuit of human dignity. Society at large may express that homeless people are worthless or at least worth less. But Mark Bustos doesn't think so. He wants to restore the dignity of homeless people in New York City.

Bustos is a professional hair stylist at Three Squares Studio, a high-end salon. Every Sunday, he takes a kit of hair cutting tools and seeks out homeless people who need a haircut. He approaches prospective clients and says, "I want to do something nice for you today."

Afterward, when his clients look better, they feel better about themselves.
